With the rapid growth in mega-pixel digital cameras, colour scanners and the internet a new market is arising for the high street retailer to offer a one hour digital photo printing service, in the same manner as is currently provided for 35mm and APS films. At the moment this requires an investment in a digital minilab, which can cost over 拢80,000 and is out of reach for most small retailers - especially while digital volumes are still relatively low. However, in future they will be able to compete thanks to new technology being developed by a company "spun out" from research by the 天美传媒.

A new 3D "cinema" that is the first of its kind in Europe will be launched at the 天美传媒 on Tuesday October 24th - but it is for high tech manufacturing businesses not Hollywood blockbusters.

The 3D theatre will employ the largest 3D capable screen ever installed by virtual reality specialists Trimension.
